But you don't want to sleep on the rise of volleyball in this state .

A new documentary premiering Friday at the 34th Heartland International Film Festival tells the story of the Indy Ignite, Indiana's first professional women's volleyball team. They just wrapped up their first season.

More than 100 films are being shown at the 34th Heartland International Film Festival in Indianapolis.
